    Just a pre-Christmas reminder that NAM is now closed until Monday 27th December, when subject to good weather it is due to re-open at 10am.

    I also understand that the next ‘Object of the Week’ will be added to the website late tomorrow and will take the form of a reminder of ‘local festivities’ from December 1944!

    Have a great Christmas everyone! 🙂

    A while back I was looking into PDF, with hyperlinks, on CD/DVD for possible future use as that’s the format most of the publications at work are available on. On-line and on disc.

    I’ve just started work on a ‘digital project’ for NAM, which in simple terms is an ‘App’ based system for doing ‘digital-tours’; with this and other technologies they are developing so fast it’s almost breath taking. 😮

    I can hear the cries of heretic now … but for more limited interest items have you thought of just doing it digitally; PDF on a CD / DVD; or the using the digital magazine formats (subscription based??) that are around?

    If you come to this part of the world these links will provide good local information for the Nottinghamshire area and the North Kesteven District area! 🙂

    Good to hear that NEAM’s got some contingencies in place. The latest forecast around these parts is for ‘bucketful’ of the white stuff overnight; so we’ll have to see if any of ours decide to try and ‘fly’ again!

    We’ve been struggling with frozen underground water pipes all day today – “it never rains but …” oops better not say that as we don’t want it to pour, as with a burst pipe!! 😮

    Season’s Greetings

    I have been asked to forward on this Christmas message that has just been posted on the NAM website:

    “Christmas Opening 2010

    First of all we would like to send out a big Happy Christmas on behalf of all the volunteers, staff and trustees, to all those people who have supported us throughout 2010; be you visitors, shoppers or event participants many thanks for your custom, good-will and kind comments. It really is appreciated!

    As per normal the museum closes at 4pm on Thursday, December 23 BUT reopens again at 10am on Monday, December 27. All other days we’ll be open from 10am until 4pm, with last admissions at 3pm.

    Before Christmas we hope that some of you might call in for those last minute presents, whilst after Christmas you’ll be desperate to spend that money you’ve been given. Don’t forget that we’ll also be closed on January 1, but open again on Sunday January 2; when unfortunately some admission prices will increase slightly.

    One final thing to remember is that on December 27 the café will be operating on ‘reduced rations’ due to the inability to buy fresh stock because of the Bank Holidays. However we’ll be offering hot drinks and mince pies for those that pay us a visit on that day.”

    It is indeed – it’s all part of the ‘ecology’ of the process! 😉

    They already have the T2 steelwork, which was mentioned here and here! 🙂

    An update has been added to the website about the ‘DOOFA’ picture, which points towards Stirling connections:

    “We have now received feedback that the vehicle shown was built by the MT section around a Morgan three-wheeler chassis and was powered by a starter motor from a Stirling; and used batteries supplied by the electrical section. As far as we know it was a complete one-off at RAF Winthorpe.”

    A new weekly feature about museum artefacts has just been introduced onto the News Page as part of a campaign to widen access to items in the Newark Air Museum Archive.

    It might be of interest to some of you.

    Buccaneer S1 ‘walk-round’ on this site – a lot of photos so it might take a while to load! 🙂

    :confused: I’m not sure whether this helps or not, but there was some Culdrose airframe spares compatibility with XX492! 😉
